Whether it be gossiping or physical assault on someone. Bullying is a national problem that needs to be addressed now more than ever. No one should have the temptation to take their own life created from other peoples actions or words.
People say that it is being addressed in schools but I have yet to see real change.
The Obama administration could visit schools or get on talk shows (sense they like to do that )and address the issue. They could bring in victims of bullying and they could tell how the victim overcame it. Tell the on lookers to stand up for your fellow classmate. Because we're all Americans, and even then we are all human.
